It's about both. SODIMM's force the laptops to be thicker and limit the amount of real estate on the motherboard. SODIMM's also are getting too outdated for the speeds DDR5 is reaching. This ends up forcing manufacturers to solder the RAM not out of greed, but out of necessity. LPCAMM2 solves all those issues, meaning manufacturers can still give us modular RAM and they can make their shit super thin. It's a win-win if LPCAMM2 gets utilized to it's fullest potential.
